The Notre Dame Cougars held a special ceremony to open the annual Cougar Classic basketball tournament.

Members of the 1988 Camille Cougars gathered Friday at their alma mater ahead of the tournament.

The Camille team was honoured on the 30th anniversary of its 3A Alberta Schools Athletic Association Basketball Provincial Championship win.

That season, they only lost one game, a tournament contest to Archbishop Jordan of Sherwood Park.

On home court in Red Deer, the Cougars beat Archbishop Jordan, who was the three-time defending champion to capture the provincial title.

On hand Friday from the winning team included five players: Andy Moldowan, Jason Langlaar, Jason Grey, Pat Manor, Ron Heidt and coach John Johnson.

The Cougar Classic goes throughout the day Saturday, with the final set for 8:15 p.m. at Notre Dame.
